I am calling this right now. We all want the Jones/Silva, Silva/GSP super fight but you sure as shit know that the super fight Dana has planned will end up being Aldo/Edgar. That is the most probable outcome.

LOL @ people thinking Ronda Rousey is mad hot. The hottest chick in MMA is the girl that hosts Best of Pride, Kenda Perez. She makes Brittney Palmer and Arianny look like 6's. War Perez.

I use Air Video and it does do local playback -- just click "Convert" instead of ""Play With Live Conversion" and it will transcode and store the video on your iPad.

Aldo/Edgar would probably be the most interesting fight of those 3 options even if it lacks in superstar value. That being said, Edgar isn't champion and still has to fight Bendo before they can plan anything else for him.

Perez is my dream women brah. Shes skinny but a healthy looking skinny like a Petra Nemcova or Miranda Kerr.

i guess it's just because I've seen her IRL... yeah she looks good with the right angles in a picture but IRL she is too skinny, and not a healthy skinny

let's put it this way. I think Chandella has a bit of a horse face and if her and Kenda were standing next to each other I'd talk to Chandella.

White has a summit planned over the next month to address fighter behavior.

What about Uncle Dana's behavior? If I was Bud Light, i'd be more upset at the figurehead of a company acting like a douche rather than a few athletes.

re: fighter behavior, and this is from 4/30

The Culinary Workers Union Local 228, which has distributed anti-UFC material to reporters and sponsors of its programming, and in the past has picketed its company offices, has led to UFC’s leading sponsor, Anheuser-Busch, to send a warning to the company on 4/25.

“We’ve communicated to the UFC our displeasure with certain remarks made my some of its fighters and they have promised to address this. If the incidents continue, we will act,” said Anheuser-Busch in a public statement. In the statement, Anheuser-Busch said that if “embraces diversity and does not condone insensitivity and derogatory comments opted in ethnicity, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability.”

UFC responded by stating, “With over 425 athletes on our roster, there have unfortunately been instances where a couple of athletes have made insensitive or inappropriate comments. We don’t condone this behavior, and in no way is it reflective of the company or its values.”

In addition, UFC is going to mandate its fighters attending sensitivity training classes as well as in the near future bring all fighters together for a seminar on the proper usage of social media. Well, the latter was something, like expanded drug testing, that was inevitable because the screw-ups were going to mess up so bad there was going to be a reaction on both issues that would embarrass the company and lead to issues with sponsors, and anyone with any foresight could have seen both issues coming like bright headlights.

The Culinary Workers Union Local 228 is generally considered the major reason that the bill to legalize MMA in the state of New York has never gotten out of the assembly. The union’s problems with UFC really stem from the Fertitta Brothers Station Casinos being non-union, and as part of a longstanding feud with the family, have been aggressive in trying to get sponsors to pull out of the UFC, keeping it out of New York, and attempting to get the FOX network to pull out of its seven-year-contract.

Among the remarks in question that UFC has been warned about was the rape joke Forrest Griffin made on Twitter; Rampage Jackson’s talking about motor boating announcer Karyn Bryant; Jackson urging a Japanese speaking to fan to say in English, “I’m a fag;” Michael Bisping’s inadvertent usage of that word during a post-fight press conference; Joe Rogan using the C word in an Internet tirade against female reporter Maggie Hendricks (spurred on by Hendricks writing a negative column about Jackson’s behavior toward Bryant); Dana White’s tirade against reporter Loretta Hunt calling her a “fucking dumb bitch” and calling an unnamed source in an article she wrote “a pussy and a fucking faggot;” and the Rashad Evans quote regarding former Penn State wrestler Phil Davis, saying , “I’m going to put those hands on you worse than that dude did to them kids at Penn State.”

Griffin quickly apologized for his joke. White also quickly apologized for usage of the word “faggot” but made it clear he would not apologize to Hunt. Rogan did not apologize directly to Hendricks although the UFC did very quickly and Rogan was spoken to about it. Evans also quickly apologized.

UFC noted that it encourages its athletes to embrace social media and with that, it can lead to problems.

They told Advertising Age, which covered the story of Anheuser-Busch’s warning to UFC by saying, “It (encouraging fighters to go on Twitter) is part of our company culture, and whenever you are at the forefront of a trend or initiative, it comes with its own pitfalls. We will continue to embrace social medai while looking for better ways to stay in front of the issues.”

This recent situation also led to the pressure group Alcohol Justice to go after Anheuser-Busch for a Facebook and YouTube commercial showing UFC ring card girl Arianny Celeste laying on her back in a bed of balls like children would play in, with the balls covering her breasts and vaginal area. The group also pressured Anheuser-Busch on its affiliation with UFC, saying that as sponsors, the company was responsible for “delivering harmful content to millions of underage youth. And at the center of the stage is the ever present Bud Light logo.”

Busch said that it only sponsors television shows where at last 71.6% of the audience is over the age of 21. UFC television shows have fairly small viewership under the age of 18, with most coming between the ages of 21 and 40.

I think we can use the regular, non-insular chat link for Bellator and Bad MMA. UFC-GAF doesn't care about those.

They're on in 45 minutes btw.

I'd just remove the chat link from the thread. We can always link our Sports Entertainment friends in Wrassle-GAF if we want to break insularity. UFC-GAF can just post in their thread of ignorant bliss.

Or just change their link to UFC-GAF

“Maybe you should talk to Joe Rogan because that (expletive) hates on me so bad. I need to talk to that boy,” Yagin stated.

“Someone should have checked his teeth because I think he got (expletive) in his mouth from sucking his (expletive) so much. Every time I would throw a good punch, or land a good kick, he would capitalize on Hominick. He’d say ‘oh, good shot from Yagin, but Hominick took it and look how well Hominick is moving!’ It’s like are you kidding me right now? Shut the (expletive) up and instead of saying what you want to happen, say what is happening.”

“I was a fan of Joe Rogan, but now it’s like come on. Just state the obvious, and stop being an ass kisser,” said Yagin. “I understand you can be a fan of other people, but if you’re going to be a commentator, just do your job and not take anybody’s side and just state what’s there, read the book. Read the lines, don’t make up your own words. This ain’t acting class; this ain’t a movie.”

Speaking to Jay Russell over at Vendetta Fighter, Frye was asked about the current PED problem that is taking over the sport of MMA, and as always, Frye didn't hold back.

"I mean Shit, people it’s professional sports, what do you expect. You know, you want records broke, grow up, you got congressmen cheating, lying and stealing and you got the president cheating, lying and stealing and you don’t expect it from professional athletes, come on, wake up get your head out of your ass and grow up.

Back at Ultimate Ultimate 2, they were doing pre fighter interviews I walk in there for the pre fight physical and the Doctor says “You know, were considering testing for steroids, what do you think of that?” It took me a couple of seconds and I said “I think you are around fighters” (laughs) my wife was behind me shaking her head yeah, she got it."

Frye wasn't quite done though, and also shared his opinion on the crop of todays fighters who have introduced a more "elusive" style into the sport.

“Hell, you know I like them all that show up to fight. I can’t stand Dominick Cruz, I can’t stand Lyoto Machida, let see, who’s that dumbass who just got his ass kicked by Jon Jones?....Rashad Evans, he don’t show up to fight, god damn. It’s not a dance, it’s a fight. You know you gotta step forward to fight, you can’t fight backing up. you fight to win you know. You go for the knockout and you settle for the victory. You don’t settle for a decision, you don’t go there looking for a decision and try not to lose. That’s an insult to the sport and an insult to the fans”

I agree with Frye on most things, and certainly appreciate fighters who scrap like they have no education of vocational skills to fall back on, but he should throw Jones in there too.

I try not to get hit in practice at all and I definitely don’t want to be taking big hits like that. Those things will slow your career down and I’m very young, I have a long time to go, so I’m not happy that I got hit so hard. But it was a learning experience for sure.

Also I totally respect not wanting to get hit and end up retarded in your 40s. Jr Seau probably killed himself cuz of all brain damage.
